Seller of gun used in massacre speaks at Va. Tech

Article


"Guns kill, they certainly do, but so do cars and all sorts of other things," Thompson said. "What we need to do is focus on the person that's doing the killing."


We need to stop focusing on the product I'm selling to make a living and start focussing on something else ! How about the poor smuck who used them ? He's a criminal right ? Why punish me for the actions of a criminal ?
- umm... he has no criminal record ?
He murdered wack of people right here at virginia Tech where I'm speaking right now ! Thats downright criminal !
- so is selling him the guns.
He's a criminal it's not my fault !
He's a boy. He has hormones raging. You don't hand such people guns. And what are you doing here trying to peddle more guns to the very same crowd in the first place ?



The murder rate in canada is a quarter that of the USA. And the gun lobby does everything in their power to blame it on anything and everything except easy access to guns and people with short tempers. They need to run around wearing signs painted in blood saying "money first ! shoot anyone you like its good for my business ! (except me !)"

People get pissed, That's human nature. You don't tell people to change human nature, you take dangerous objects away from them.

But every gun freak in america will come up with a dozen reasons why they can't do that, and most of those reasons will be simply changing the subject or a simple out right "not my fault, blame someone else".
